Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control.

Thinking outside the box means applying existing knowledge in new, unexpected ways to come up with new ideas and solutions. This is an essential skill in today’s fast-changing world. But saying “think outside the box” isn’t enough - you have to be aware of the box before you can think outside it. The scientific name for this imaginary box is “mental model”. Mental models are useful because they help you learn. They help you make sense of new information and attach it to your existing knowledge. But, at the same time, they can limit your thinking.

In the popular imagination, superhuman artificial intelligence is an approaching tidal wave that threatens not just jobs and human relationships, but civilization itself. Conflict between humans and machines is seen as inevitable and its outcome all too predictable. In this groundbreaking audiobook, distinguished AI researcher Stuart Russell argues that this scenario can be avoided, but only if we rethink AI from the ground up. Russell begins by exploring the idea of intelligence in humans and in machines.

Learn how to think smarter and use critical thinking to your advantage. Intelligence is not just something you have or don't have. It can be practiced. You can become more intelligent if you want to. People who think more logically, don't follow the masses or the trends, but they think for themselves, comparing all kinds of criteria and connotations to each other, while assessing the validity and conclusions of those data. Being able to make up your own mind, not just based on emotions, but rather on clear connections and consequences, is a highly valuable skill in this society.

Publisher's summary
A common goal in education, training, and professional development is to gain and retain relevant knowledge. This specific goal has the positive attributes of being easy to articulate and easy to measure (testing shows that the student now knows the material whereas they, likely, didn’t beforehand), and in many cases of immediate utility to the student (who can now more effectively solve meaningful and in many cases job-related problems they couldn’t solve before).
However, knowledge alone has two major disadvantages. One, knowledge’s utility over time can degrade (how many need to know how to repair the carburetor on a 1953 Ford F250?). Two, knowledge alone isn’t enough to enable the knowledgeable person to solve novel problems where applicable knowledge doesn’t yet exist.
What’s beyond knowledge, preferably with a longer applicable useful lifespan and utility, in helping address novel problems? The answer, the author argues, is “wisdom”. This book discusses the topic of wisdom, its relationship to knowledge, its relative utility in problem-solving, and how a person can gain, retain, and make personal and long-term career and personal-life use of gained wisdom.

Many people today are so dazzled by the long-term potential for artificial intelligence that they overlook the much clearer and more immediate potential for a new form of "collective intelligence": the intelligence of groups of people and computers working together. In Superminds, Thomas Malone explains what we need to do to take advantage of this potential. Groundbreaking and utterly fascinating, Superminds will change the way you work - both with others and with computers - for the better.

This book predicts the decline of today's professions and describes the people and systems that will replace them. In an Internet society, according to Richard Susskind and Daniel Susskind, we will neither need nor want doctors, teachers, accountants, architects, the clergy, consultants, lawyers, and many others to work as they did in the 20th century.

unusual!
Lots of talk about how teams work together (or not) is not at all what I expected from a book on Wisdom. But in fact it lays the groundwork well for the central ideas of what wisdom is and isn't, and how one may cultivate and maintain it. I'm glad I listened to the end.
